Yahtzee does a "review" of GW2
You know he never really like anything at least he had some good to say about guild wars 2. I really like to see him actually write a review where he writes a good review of a game if that ever happens I think I will faint.

Wow that was almost positive, he usually rips games to shreds.
I have to agree with you that one of the most positive I have ever read from him.
Funny stuff. He didn't know he could use those extra skill points that seemed pointless to purchase things though. The review would have been even more positive then!
It was almost positive, but I felt that he really didn't give the game nearly a fair shake, and I hardly ever say that about his reviews. He barely touched on how amazing it is that they can do an MMO like this with no monthly fee, for instance, and really didn't play up the fact that the action-oriented gameplay makes most other MMOs look pretty static and slow by comparison. It was unfortunate that he picked a human to start with, since I'll give him that the human starting area and story quest is a little bland. Feels a lot like every other human starting area in every other game I've played. If he'd started off with the charr (my favorite), or almost any of the others I'd think he'd have felt much more drawn into the overall story and lore of the game. But yeah, I have to then remind myself that this is Yahtzee we're dealing with and he hates 'Mummorpurgers', so anything that wasn't just a flat out excoriation is progress.
Personally I think he writes reviews with an eye to how funny he can make it. Of course it always easy to make something funny by flaming it over praising it.
Given yatzee's previous reviews, it was actually very positive.
Yahtzee never has anything good to say about any games, even the ones that he likes. That said, I think his stuff is scathing but funny.
Silent Hill 2 is like his favorite game of all time, and even that he rips on a few times. This is about as good as you're going to get from him with a MMORPG. Been watching some of his older reviews on games I have played...pretty funny, but crude, stuff.
He *is* a comedian, not an actual reviewer.
